For the first gallery visit of 2022, CNWL Arts in Health partnered with Two Temple Place to offer participants’ a chance to visit their current exhibition, “Body Vessel Clay: Black Women, Ceramics and Contemporary Art,” a showcase of artworks by three generations of Black female artists working in clay.
The exhibition begins looking at Ladi Kawli, a Nigerian potter, and explores how her work has influenced younger generations of International artists in radical new ways.
After the visiting this dynamic exhibition, the group were led by artists through an interactive Clay-making workshop, to get participants actively involved with the creative process. The group had the opportunity to keep their pieces, or to add them to a “Clay Room” at Two Temple Place, a space currently open to the public to see participants’ work made in artistic response to the exhibition.
Throughout the pandemic, CNWL Arts in Health have been maintaining consistent interaction with service users through a weekly Zoom, ‘Friday Studios Online.’ The workshop was a fantastic opportunity for participants to meet back in person and was positively enjoyed by all attendees.
